So configuring 2008 Server R2 on my laptop and would like to connect to a WLAN. After verifying that the driver was functional, there was no way to connect to a network, WTF?
So it looks like you need to install the Wireless LAN Service to work. Seriously?
Open Server Manager > Click on Features > Add a Feature > Locate Wireless LAN Service and install.
No reboot required, now your WNIC is able to connect to a WLAN.
That took way too long to figure out…
